Summary
Colin’s joined by Jason Timpf, host of “Hoops Tonight” to break down all the NBA playoff action!
They start with the bevy of blowouts we’ve seen so far, and why the NBA needs to reduce the early rounds from seven games to five (3:15). They debate whether the Rockets should target Giannis and what players they should be willing to part with in order to get him (7:45).
They discuss why the Knicks have actually LOST ground to the Celtics (12:30), how Jason Tatum’s leap this season has improved the Celtics (16:30) and why Russell Westbrook has become the “tone setter” for the Denver Nuggets (26:30).
Finally, they debate whether Luka Doncic can be a “championship player” despite his weakness on the defensive end of the floor (35:30).
